Crystal Palace defender Pape Souare is set for around two months of recovery following an operation on his dislocated shoulder.
Senegal full-back Souare suffered the injury during Saturday's FA Cup tie against Grimsby.
The club released a statement saying he had undergone a "successful operation", adding "the plan is for him to return to training in around two months' time".
Souare posted a brief update on his social media account. The defender said: "Quick minor op, and it went great can't wait to get back doing what I love. I wanna thank everyone for their ongoing support.
See you soon."
Defender Souare had fought a long fitness battle after breaking his thighbone and jaw in September 2016 and was sidelined for a year.
